Excerpt from The Outlook for the Average Man
The five chapters of this volume consist of material originally made use of in public ad dresses to young men. The first was delivered to the students of the University of Chicago as a Convocation address. The second and third, respectively, were prepared as commencement addresses for Vanderbilt University, Nashville, Tennessee, and Trinity College, Durham, North Carolina. The fourth was the opening discourse upon the Weinstock Foundation in the University of California, and the fifth was presented at the University of Virginia, on occasion of the re establishment of Founder's Day, this being observed on Thomas Jefferson's birthday.
